Those of us with the Bose system and with Navigation on top of that really have to keep the factory display.
It does look very nice though. Looks like it came from the factory. A lot of aftermarket dashboard units and adapter kits don't fit quite right or stick out abnormally. They did a nice job with that design.

They have different harness adapters for the bose system. You basically have to look for the harness to match your IO5 or IO6 system. Mine is IOB. Pac audio should have a harness for that. Idatalink needs to get off their ass and make a compatible harness. You're essentially pulling out the stock radio module and replacing it with an aftermarket programmed module to retain factory settings. If it's not available yet then be patient or start emailing Idatalink to push them. Idatalink maestro RR to be exact. The aftermarket stereos are not dead yet. They are adapting to the change. Pioneer made a modular unit and now companies can work on adapting to specific vehicles. Research Idatalink and you may be surprised.
I replaced all my stock speakers and still use the stock amp however I used a sub thump harness and added 2 more amps with 2 midrange and 2 subs.
